Hi all
A bit of good news for a change - President Kennedy School comes top of the form.
Coventry’s top 10
1. President Kennedy School
2. Blue Coat School and Music College
3. Sidney Stringer Academy
4. Bishop Ullathorne School
5. Whitley Academy
6. Finham Park School
7. Caludon Castle School
8. Tile Hill Wood School
9. Stoke Park School and Community Technology College
10. Cardinal Newman School

This truly is very sad news indeed. Living here in Cornwall we hear of these tragic incidents on the beach very often during the summer, people do not realize that a beautiful beach with relatively calm sea can be so dangerous, due to the fact of rips during different times between low and high tide. It is so important to obey the lifeguards and their warning flags. Condolences to family and friends.

People who worked in Coventry city centre who lived in Birmingham would park at Nisa, catch a bus into Coventry and so avoid city centre parking charges for perhaps nine hours. I know that to be true.
Now there are parking meters on the car park with first hour free. Now the car park is almost empty for most of the time.

Didn't even know we had one in Tamworth Philip! You learn something new every day but must have passed it hundreds of times on my way to Ventura shopping centre

This probably isn't the right topic to place this post, it might be more appropriate under the 'Famous Coventrians' thread but not sure how 'famous' this person is.
This week BBC Scotland has been showing a series called 'WPC 56' based on a female constable set in a fictitious Midlands town in 1956.
Having not seen or heard of the programme before, I note it's actually a few years old and the principal (title character) is an actress named Jennie Jacques who was born in Coventry.
